Did you know MPC-HC has an Edit list Editor? I didn't until stumbling on it just now.
This might be useful as a quick and dirty way to mark the interesting sections of a
large quantity of raw footage: a basic shot logger.

Here's how it works (AFAICT, from browsing the source code and good old trial and error)

Set up some hotkeys (there are no menu items). Options, Player, Keys: scroll down.

For example, I set mine up like this:

- Ctrl+F12: Toggle EDL Window

- Ctrl+F9: EDL new clip

- Ctrl+F10: EDL set In

- Ctrl+F11: EDL set Out

- Ctrl+Shift+F12: EDL save

Open a movie. Press Ctrl+F12 to show the Edit list Editor.

Drag the Editor to a position you like - docked or undocked.

Press Ctrl+F9 to create a new clip (edit list event)

Press Ctrl+F10 to mark In. You can press it multiple times while finding the right frame.

Optional, press Ctrl+F11 to mark Out.

Press Ctrl+F9 to start another clip (event). If you didn't mark Out, an Out is added automatically.

Repeat as needed. An EDL is built, looking like the screenshot.

Ignore the nonfunctional GUI controls, such as User, Hot Folder and the Name column.
This feature is not completely coded. It does work though.

Save the list with Ctrl+Shift+F12 and close MPC-HC (the file is not created until MPC-HC is closed) *

If you need frame numbers, you can get them using a spreadsheet etc. (frame=time*fps)

Test thoroughly before using this for anything important! And don't blame me if anything goes wrong!
Tested in MPC-HC version 1.7.10 64-bit. Since this is an undocumented feature, it may come and go in various builds.

* I'm not really sure when and where (temp folder?) the EDL file is written, but this is how it appears.
